THE PENNY MAP / FOUND ONE?

Found a penny card?
Mark the spot.

Yes, that is a real penny. I taped it to a business card and left it where somebody like you would trip over it. Five hundred of them, around the Bay Area, in November. This map is where they turned up.

Tap the spot where you found yours. Ten seconds, no account, no catch. The penny is yours either way. Keep it, spend it, or send it back. Sending it back is sort of the whole experiment, so no pressure. Some pressure.

Counting the pins…

The map never asks your phone where you are. You show it.

PIN YOUR PENNY

Step one: tap the map where you found it. Zoom in if it helps.

Your spot is rounded to about a kilometer before it is saved, so the map shows the neighborhood, not the bench. No IP address is kept with your pin. The pin shows right away. Your name, place and note show once a person has read them. Keep it kind; nothing crude makes it.
